NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock-index futures on Wednesday remained near unchanged after weekly jobless-claims data came in as expected but also distorted by superstorm Sandy. "There is no bottom line in terms of coming to a conclusion with this hurricane-distorted data," said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average

were up 3 points at 12,762. Those for the S&P 500 index

added nearly 1 point to 1,387.2, and Nasdaq 100 futures

climbed 2 points to 2,595.50.
